Surmising that the party was here
on business of great importance to the
community, a representative Of the
HERALD called on Mr.. Clowry at his
car yesterday afternoon, and in reply
to questions learned that his sus-
picions had been correct.
Mr.. Clowry stated that he was here
solely on business. He had been
on an inspection tour throughout
the West, and after investigating
he had. come to the conclusion that
the telegraphic facilities here were en-
tirely inadequate. In order that bet
ter service may be obtained the COM
pany intends to add new lines, one of
which will run from San Diego
through Los Angeles to Oregon.
Another Improvement which Mr..
Clowry thought of making was the
adding of more room to the present
Office or else of obtaining larger
quarters elsewhere. The present
rooms are entirely too small to permit
the force to handle the matter prop
erly. If new rooms are obtained the
force will be increased, new wires will
be stretched from Deming here, and
will also be made with
the smaller towns hereabouts.
In Mr.. Clowry's opinion the Balti- |
more and Ohio sale as reported was
bona fide. Although Mr.. Garrett had
published articles to the contrary, Mr..
Clowry thought the sale was made,
the price being 5000, 900 for all the
lines, apparatus and good will. The
western terminus of the Baltimore and
Ohio line has been fixed definitely at
st. Louis, and its extension westward
is not contemplated.
Mr.. Clowry and party left in the af-
ternoon for Santa Monica, and will re-
turn to-day to remain a few days.
From here they go to San Diego and
points along the line.

ADELAIDE MOORE

Appears at the Grand Opera House as
Pauline" and as "Galatea."
Miss Adelaide Moore made dual APP
pearance at the Grand opera-bOuse yes
terdsy. In the afternoon she ap peared
to a slim audience as Pauline In "The
Lady OF Lyons" and her assumption Of
the character, especially in the last acts
gave better satisfaction but she lacked
the intense emotion, passion, OF "Psu-
line," and her voice was not In proper
trim. The support was weak, and IN
some cases badly cast.
At night Gilbert's beautiful comedy,
Pygm2lion and Galatea, was produced
and in this the company were more for
tunate. The wit and satire evoked
many hearty laughs and Miss Moore's
beauty was OF great advantage as Gal
atea" but even In this character she
was rather too much statue, and too
little OF the woman and the artistic. The
characters were better adapted for the
piece, and therefore the performance
was far more satisfactory.
The LIGHT, from facts before Ii. is COM
PEELED In justice to all to say that while
Miss Moore is respected lady and
beautiful and voluptuous woman, OF
considerable ability, she has been turned
on the dramatic world too soon and
worked too hard for her calibre. A re-
cent attack of pneumonia has added to
oil her difficulties, and as a result she is
some what broken up She now needs
rest and tuition which would improve
her and enhance her artistic worth, but
her natural defects OF voice and articu-

Chess in San Antonio /.

Editor LIGHT:
We are watching with interest the
move that has been made by the men,
bers of the MikadO club to bring the
chess players Of San Antonio together.
The present chess tourney has brought
to light about forty players who are now
0ontesting for the honors and we are
we'll satisfied that this move will bring
to the front many more of Cassia's ar
dent admirers. Now is the accepted
time, gentlemen, to organize a chess
club In San Antonio. Get your worthy
president of this tourney to send to Mr..
James ID. Seguin, of New Orleans, for a
copy OF the bylaws and constitution OF
the New Orleans Chess club; from it you
will gather all the points to govern you
in conducting your tourney to su cess
full end. You will find that all disputes
are settled by a governing committee,
and their construction OF the rules laid
down in their settlement on points I'M
provided for is, and must be final.

you look at her you think that nobody
else could ever have written those
quaint, homely songs, that touch all
hearts alike, that are so full to over

vet that dear little woman was never
wife nor mother. No little arms we're
ever folded around her neck, nor little
faces held to her bosom. Perhaps Ii is

she smiles. She is a small but exquisite
